Harry Potter Conspiracy Theory #3: Snape
Previously
Harry Potter Theory #1: RAB Harry Potter Theory #2: DumbledoreBefore I continue I’m going to give some warning for those who still haven’t read the Harry Potter books. If, like me, you like to be surprised when you read something new – leave nowSnape is an enigma. What is he doing? From the very first book it has been made incredibly clear that two things are true. Firstly Snape hates Harry as much as anyone can hate; ...
Microsoft Coding 4 Fun
For a site that’s called Coding 4 Fun this site couldn’t be less enjoyable.
Microsoft are trying to get people to start programming at an earlier age, which I think is a great idea, but making the site this dry and academic looking just sucks all the fun out of the subject. The topics they are talking about, game developement, image editing, even iTunes addons, are perfect subject matter for getting people interested. They’re even offering a free beta ...
Liquid Sculpture
Sculptures created with water and other liquids – incredibly clever and some really nice images created.
Liquid Sculpture is the process of creating shapes by dropping and splashing water, or other liquids. These sculptures are then photographed, since they last only a few thousandths of a second. Creating and capturing these engaging forms requires careful manipulation of the materials and precise control of the lighting and timing.

Worst Game Development Competition – Ever!
Wow – what a sack of crap.
There have been a number of game development competitions recently but this new one from Studica has to be the worst ever. First Prize is $500, 2nd $200, and 3rd place nets you $100. Not much of a prize when you consider how long a decent game takes to make but that’s not the worst of it. The really bad thing is that you have to buy Virtools before you ...
Dev Diary : Game Design
Before working out what sort of game to make I need to find out what is in a design document. These are new to me so a quick Google threw up a handful of sites. The most likely was found at ihsoft which has a number of articles on game design and development. I downloaded the design document template (which can be found at the top of the page) and had a read. The document itself was pretty ...
